Exactly.

I'm interested in distributed applications (think BitTorrent, not ActivityPub), and my primary concern here is filtering. I want to be able to only see content from people I trust and people they trust (and so on), and if I do that well, I won't have to see a ton of crap. That's how regular relationships work, and I'd like to try my hand at it with anonymous relationships. Think something like Web of Trust, but adjusted for larger networks of people.

That sounds awesome and I'd love to use it.

Same. Unfortunately, it's nowhere near done yet. 😅
